We at Bailey Orthodontics would like to wish everyone a Happy Holidays! There are many things that can wreak havoc on braces and teeth. Here are a few helpful hints we would like to pass on to keep your brackets in tact while enjoying the festivities this holiday season.

Avoid sticky, extremely hard, chewy or crunchy treats. These may include but are not limited to candy canes, taffy, and peanut brittle, caramel and mixed nuts. Snacks that are okay to eat in moderation can include peanut butter cups, chocolate kisses or better yet fruit.

Also, avoid chewing on ice after finishing your favorite holiday beverage.

Finally, good dental hygiene is imperative. Make sure to brush and floss after enjoying your favorite, approved, holiday treat. Brushing and flossing will help to remove any trapped food, which can cause staining and tooth decay.

Again, we hope that everyone has a Happy and Safe Holiday Season.

Sincerely,
Dr. Bailey and Staff
